The stakes
Full time: Ivory Coast 1-0 Ecuador — a Group E result now baked into the table.
The two sides
Ivory CoastThe youngest team here, and rising
The youngest squad at the World Cup, finally breaking a long curse, conceding nothing in qualifying and winning on a 90th-minute super-sub strike — a long-haunted nation daring to believe.
EcuadorTheir best squad ever, gutted by a late loss
Arguably their best team ever — a £100M midfielder, a 19-year-old phenom, an elite defense — walking in on a 19-game unbeaten run. A heartbroken favorite is a dangerous, gripping watch.
